While successful completion of this course does not qualify you to work as a counsellor, this qualification is great for those who are looking to start their journey to becoming a counsellor, and also for those who already work with others and would like to develop their communication skills for CPD. All knowledge learned is transferable to any role where an individual works with others e.g. in teaching, healthcare, mental health, social work etc.
You will learn independently on our online platform but with the support of a personal tutor. All course material and lessons are held on our online platform – you can access in your own time. There are no live lessons to attend.
There is also the option to study this in the classroom. You can apply for the classroom-based course here.
On completion of this course, you can progress to our Level 3 Counselling Diploma at South Devon College, or progress to an external provider (ensure that you check entry requirements of external providers).
This course will be fully subsidised for those who are over 19, have been resident in the UK for three years, with an exception of those who live within a devolved adult education area and those currently enrolled on an apprenticeship – please click here for more information.

I have been really happy with the Level 4 Learning and Skills Mentor apprenticeship. The monthly lessons, led by Leigh, are well thought out and engaging. We receive excellent resources and have ample opportunities to practice our techniques during the lessons. Allowing for group collaboration and sharing of experiences. The feedback and one-on-one sessions I have received are informative, knowledgeable, and helpful, enabling me to develop my skills further. Since starting this apprenticeship, I have gained valuable knowledge in questioning and listening techniques, which I have already begun to apply in my role as an Assessor Coach. Throughout the program, I have felt fully supported. I cannot recommend this course enough for anyone either new to mentoring or looking to develop their communication and support skills. This apprenticeship has provided me with the tools and confidence needed to excel in mentoring and support roles, making a real difference in my professional capabilities.Jenny Goodman
